My car thermometer has said 109-113 each day this week when I leave work. Regardless, my office is icy.I am wearing skinny jeans, olive suede mules and a long gray short-sleeve shirt with the shoulders cut out, green and amber dangly earrings. And snuggling into my long-sleeve black cardigan, which I leave at work this time of year.

White tee shirt, "pink flambé" (hot pink) skimmers (mid calf pants), tan sandals. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing pants of that length under normal circumstances because they make me look even shorter than I am and I have bad memories of older women (women the age I am now) wearing similar pants in the sixties. The circumstances are not normal, however. It was 100 degrees here today. I was not prepared to wear shorts so skimmers it was.
